this last weekend I lost the upper lace and it's hardware on the left boot of my 2008 Ronix Reliks. I see on the Ronix site they only have 2012 replacement laces. Anyone know if those do the trick just fine on my older boots or is there a better way to go about replacing them???

Use shoe laces. Seriously. I've broken every single lace in both pairs of LF Harleys I've had within just a few months of buying them. Wake laces are crap. I've never had a shoe lace break on me. With LF's lace hardware, I was able to string them up just like the stock laces, clamps and all. Not sure about Ronix. If not, you can just tie them.
